According to the results of the second stage of the NTI Olympiad, organized by the RVC, 578 schoolchildren entered the finals. Among them, there are finalists of 15 profiles, winners and prize-winners of the last year's NTI Olympiad and open engineering competitions.

The finalists of 15 profiles of the Olympiad were 49 teams from Russia and 1 team from Kazakhstan. Participants from the Novosibirsk region (101 finalists), the cities of St. Petersburg (50 finalists) and Moscow (49 finalists), Krasnoyarsk Territory (46 finalists) and the Republic of Tatarstan (40 finalists) became the most active in terms of technological creativity. For the participants of the profiles Unmanned Aerial Systems and Nuclear Technologies an additional qualifying stage is held on December 18 — 22: despite the complexity of assignments, the passing score in these categories was scored by the majority of teams.

According to the regulations, the winners and prize-winners of the last year's NTI Olympiad and open engineering competitions, such as "Lift to the future", the All-Russia Forum of Professional Navigation "ProeKTOriYa", WorldSkills Championship and others will also be able to take part in the final stage.

According to the number of participants, the profiles were distributed as follows:

New materials and sensors — 66 people;

Wireless technologies — 49 people;

Autonomous transport systems — 47 people;
